π‘ A $15 Mobile supply fee is applied per job. This covers brake cleaner, rags and rag disposal, towels, grease for brake hardware, thread locker, penetrating oil (for rusty bolts), and other professional shop supplies used to keep every job professional.
π‘ We do not service transmission repair or program key fobs.
π‘ I donβt charge by the hour. All jobs are quoted at a flat-rate price before work begins β so you always know exactly what youβll pay.
β Flat-rate pricing only β never hourly charges.
π‘ Most clients choose to provide their own parts β often using quotes from other shops β and simply call us to install them. This makes the job easier for both of us and ensures you get the exact parts you prefer. Please be sure to verify part numbers and details before purchase, as labor is not refundable if parts are incorrect. Warranties for customer-supplied parts must be handled with the supplier.
